The Immunology journal club (Immunology 815), held weekly, consists of informal presentations by students and fellows of journal articles or ongoing research in the presenter's laboratory. University of Michigan immunologists attend these meetings. Please click here for the 2007-2008 Journal Club schedule.

The Immunology Program also sponsors an annual retreat, which is an opportunity for the University's immunology community to get together in an off-campus location and for students and research fellows to present their research.

This year's Retreat keynote speaker is Ulrich H. von Andrian, MD, who is Mallinckrodt Professor of Immunopathology in the Dept. of Pathology at the Harvard Medical School, as well as Senior Investigator at The CBR Institute for Biomedical Research. http://cbr.med.harvard.edu/uva
